COLLEGE
College, from his real name David Grellier, is a French electronic music composer born in 1979 in Nantes. At the end of the 90s, he purchased his first computer, with which he realized numerous demos influenced by artists such as Jeff Mills, Aphex Twin and labels such as Soma Records, Peacefrog or still Warp. In April 2007, he decided to create a blog to share their most recent productions: the Valerie project was born. In 2009, while his first album entitled Secret Diary was being released, College toured with Anoraak all through the biggest capitals in Europe, the United States and Australia. College also collaborated closely with the Canadian duet Electric Youth, who participated to the Ep A Real Hero, released on the Belgian label Flexx Records and selected in 2011 as the main theme for the movie DRIVE.

ANORAAK
While he's certainly into laser-guided synth lines and sepia-toned nostalgia trips, Riviere's debut album as Anoraak (Wherever the Sun Sets) is more indebted to Italo disco, Motown-schooled funk and sepia-toned pop music—think: M83 on Ecstasy—than anything that's lo-or-glo-fi. It's a feel-good full-length for the most part., a seamless blend of live and programmed elements that's essentially an electronic take on the SoCal rock LPs (Weezer, That Dog) that Riviere loved as a kid growing up in the South of France.

ELECTRIC YOUTH
Electric Youth's Austin Garrick and Bronwyn Griffin, middle school sweethearts turned synth duo, churn out 80's inspired, electro-pop melodies and dreamy ballads that capture the moment the mallrat went supernova and became America's sweetheart. The Toronto natives penned the infectious track "A Real Hero," the central theme song for the Ryan Gosling landmark film Drive, which became the movies unofficial anthem and propelled the soundtrack to become one of the best of the year. The soundtrack has reached the top-5 albums on iTunes and "A Real Hero" is the best selling single download from the score, having charted the top 10 iTunes Dance Charts in the U.S. and other countries overseas. Now a 5-piece touring act, Electric Youth are completing their debut album along with a music video fo their next single, "The Best Thing."
